Other Things to Note

It is import that all tourist understand that the cleaning fee is required to be paid at the reservation. The apartmnet cannot be cleaned by them that Rome is a city where the municipality imposes the city tax, and for room renting since september 1st is of euro 3.50 per person per night. to be paid on arrival.

1. Communication: Before we arrived, Apollonia responded to messages quickly and provided good directions. Starting the first day of our 4 day/3 night stay, she stopped responding, even when the problems were imminent.

2. Promised Amenities: (A) breakfast-There was no breakfast, just dry cereal with no bowls. On our last day, Apollonia's brother came by and explained that city laws do not allow it (but it is still listed on the site, which is on of the reasons I had chosen this room); (B) Free parking- we were not given information our access to the garage beneath our building, so we parked on a nearby street. Someone hit our car and created damages that we will have to pay for in our rental car. A market ran from 3-20 on Sunday in the neighborhood even though there are no signs staying this on the street, so we would have been stuck on our check out day (our host knew we were coming with a car but never gave this information, even when I asked specifically about parking and issues about the car); (3) Necessary items- there was no showering items provided. There was no toilet paper for 24 hours.

3. Cleanliness: our trash was never removed for 4 days. The shared bathroom was dirty, especially the floor. Even after a cleaning person came om our 3rd day, another person's hair was still on the bathroom floor and tub. There were ants in the bathroom. The streets were littered with trash throughout the neighborhood. A person renting the other room smoked in their room, which made our room unpleasant.

We had trouble getting change for the city tax- it would be helpful if that were included as a charge through air bnb. This was the first bad experience we have had with a host. I remained positive in all communications with the host, but my concerns were never addressed.

Apollonias apartment is great. Bathroom clean, comfortable bed, everything as discribed. For someone who likes to walk, the apartment is very well located considering the good price. The comunication with APollonia was great. Defitevely I would come back.

About the Host, Apollonia&Bros

I'm a 40 years Italian woman: Because of my family origins, since small I got acquainted with EAst -European countries and with the United States of America.... so my passions are spread all over the world as my relatives.
Since very little I travelled very frequently, studied languages (I speak 5 languages) and I can not imagine my life without Travelling and meeting people from all over the World.
My studies were in Tourism, after working for some big Tour Operators in Rome, 4 years ago I opened my own business...... and I have to say yes it's difficult but it gives me I big personal satisfaction it's a constant challenge.
Airbnb is another new challenge (I started since April). Through Airbnb I really discovered a new way of Travelling.... and beeing a professional it's extremely interesting to me in discovering the world and the pepole through this website.

I'm a hard worker, but the biggest joy of my life is my son of only 21 months, he gives all the strenghts to face the challenges that life brings to me.

You are wellcome to my apartment. I strongly believe in the positive way of thinking, till now I met almost all fantastic people; it seems that my apartment attracts very positive persons.
